Хуургандаа Mongolian Grill — Restaurant in Ulaanbaatar

Very much in the spirit of “Mongolian barbecue”. You take a bowl, you fill it with a bunch of raw ingredients and they cook it for you according to one of three different spice mixes. What’s fascinating about this place is just how affordable it is. You can pack one bowl full of ingredients and it’ll always be just 14900 MNT. You can also get all you can eat and drink packages (including draft beer) for just 50k. I’m genuinely impressed to see such great value in 2025. The grill was fine, the khuushuur was OK, service is friendly, interior is admittedly run down but I won’t hold it...

Ask for your bowl first for the mongolian grill. And pick your vegis and noodles by yourself at the bar and go to the grill counter. Choose your meat at the counter (beef or lamb), choose your sauce (non spicy, hoisan, spicy) and mention do you want to eat in or take out. There are pictures of meats and sauces behind the grill, so point the picture...

I am a tourist and this is just a local place, which is exactly what I was looking for. You get to fill your bowl with ingredients and they make it fresh for you. As this is a local place, don't expect English. But the staff is kind and will help you as much...
